Northern Colorado residents considering donating to Hurricane Harvey recovery efforts in Texas now have a $2 million incentive to open their wallets.

Bohemian Foundation announced Friday that it will match up to $2 million in local donations to the NoCo Foundation Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund, which was launched by the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado to help nonprofit organizations involved in recovery efforts.

"One thing we learned from the Northern Colorado fires of 2012 and the floods of 2013 is that there are two distinct areas to address: immediate relief efforts and long-term needs," Community Foundation President Ray Caraway said in a release announcing the fund and Bohemian's match. "This fund will support the work of vetted charitable organizations as they undertake necessary recovery efforts."

The Community Foundation will not charge any administrative fees to the fund, which will support nonprofits addressing intermediate and long-term recovery needs in Hurricane Harvey-impacted areas.

Bohemian will match donations to the fund from individuals, businesses and corporate donors in Larimer and Weld counties now through midnight Oct. 20.

"This relief fund is a way for Northern Colorado and Bohemian Foundation to help the thousands of individuals who have suffered losses from Hurricane Harvey," Bohemian Foundation founder Pat Stryker added in the release. "We join all citizens around the nation in expressing our concern, and know that our generous community will answer this challenge."

Donations can be made at the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado's website, www.NoCoFoundation.org. Contact the Community Foundation team at DonorServices@NoCoFoundation.org or 970-224-3462 with any questions or to donate stock.

The Red Cross of Northern Colorado is deploying mobile units to assist with shelter needs; Crisis Cleanup is working to help connect survivors with local agencies to help with needs and debris cleanup; United Way 211 is directing donors to Houston-area agencies; the Salvation Army is sending trucks with food and water; Team Rubicon is sending teams to Victoria and Corpus Christi; Rocky Assist is sending a team early next month to help in Corpus Christi; and Southern Baptist Disaster Relief is sending volunteers and supplies to Texas.

Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith used Facebook to remind residents that the immediate aftermath is always chaotic and resources that are coming from outside the area will take at least 48 hours to arrive and another 24 hours before they're deployed where needed.

Responders, he noted, are typically local residents, local and state emergency personnel, National Guard troops and emergency responders from other communities and states who are "on loan."

"Keep in mind that there are many relief agencies who can use your financial support," he wrote.

In Longmont, Oskar Blues Brewery and Ball Corporation partnered with CAN'd Aid Foundation to can and ship clean drinking water to Texas, with an expected shipment of 88,800 cans to arrive by the end of the week, according to a news release.

Safeway is also raising funds for Hurricane Harvey disaster relief — cashiers will accept donations at all check stands, and donations will go toward organizations on the ground in southeast Texas, such as the local Salvation Army, the American Red Cross and other organizations, according to a news release.
